Do you hope Rob’s character sticks around for season eight?

After Clay was shot in the chest on the season finale of One Tree Hill, no one knows whether or not he’ll live to see the season premiere — not even Robert Buckley, the actor who plays him! “I hope I haven’t died,” he told HollywoodLife.com exclusively May 20 at the Think PR Upfront Studio at NYC’s Empire Hotel. “That would be a pretty sick joke bringing me out here [to NYC for The CW Upfront Presentation.]” We agree, Rob! Our jaws dropped when we saw Clay and Quinn (Shantel VanSanten) shot by crazy Katie (Amanda Schull) and we’d be really bummed if either one of them aren’t back for season eight.

Watch the shocking twist below:
